Traitor

Chapter 11 The Weird Jade Card

"I thought Master Zhao was not afraid of anything." Mu Baili stopped and left without saying a word.

Who doesn't know that Mu Baili, the eunuch in charge of the chief inspector of ceremonies, and the admiral of the East Factory, is always moody.

Zhao Wuyou took a deep breath, and stroked his throat hidden in his collar with his fingertips.The Adam's apple is fake, and it can't be seen from the outside, but it doesn't mean it can't be touched.

Yunzheng waited anxiously outside, finally seeing Zhao Wuyou come out, she was relieved, "Master?"

"It's okay." Zhao Wuyou gathered his shawl, looking a bit tired, as if he was tired.

Yunzheng didn't dare to ask more questions before she left the territory of the Supervisor of Rituals.

Xi Mo didn't dare to speak until he got out of the palace and got into the carriage, seeing no one around, "My lord, he's caught, he's alive."

"Where is it?" Zhao Wuyou asked.

Xi Mo said, "Jiaofang Division's dungeon."

The Jiaofang Division belongs to the Ministry of Rites. It sounds nice to be the Jiaofang Division, but it is actually an official brothel.But official brothels are different from ordinary brothels. Official brothels only entertain princes, grandchildren and nobles, as well as the children of officials.Therefore, it is impossible for ordinary people to step into the Jiaofang Division.

The Jiaofang Division does all business without capital, and the women in it are all beautiful and talented, but those who are sent in are either the daughters of criminal officials, or orphans, or bought slaves.In recent years, Dongchang has killed countless people and organized many crimes to kill courtiers. The female family members of the courtiers' families were either not in the Jiaofang Division, or they were not military prostitutes.The former can still linger on, while most of the latter end up tragically.

When these women entered the Jiaofang Division, they lost their freedom.

Life and death, going and staying, can only be held in the hands of Fangzhu or Zhao Wuyou, the Minister of Rites.

In the dark dungeon, Zhao Wuyou walked forward slowly.

"My lord!" The owner's name is Hong Gu, she used to be Zhao Wuyou's mother's personal maid, and now she is the owner of Jiaofang Division.For Hong Gu, Zhao Wuyou trusted her. If it wasn't for her in the early years, she and her mother would have died long ago.

The long scar on Honggu's face is the best testimony.

"Where are people?" Zhao Wuyou asked.

Pushing open the door of the cell, a woman was chained to a wooden frame, covered in blood.His head was drooping, probably because he had been tortured too much and passed out.Zhao Wuyou frowned at the bloody smell coming from his nostrils.

She didn't like the smell of blood, not at all.

"The jade badge was found from her." Hong Gu introduced, "She said her name was Yuying, and her family couldn't afford her, so she was sent to Jiaofang Division. When I came in, I felt very strange. A woman always cries, but she is the only one who doesn't cry or make a fuss. So I paid special attention to her until last night when I found her going out quietly, so I had her house searched."

"There is nothing in the house, only a jade token was found on her body after she came back. My lord said earlier that if a woman has such a thing on her body, she must deal with it immediately."

Yunzheng opened the box in her hand, and there were three jade plaques neatly placed inside, and now counting the one in Honggu's hand, it was the fourth one.

"My lord, what exactly is this?" Hong Gu was stunned.

Xi Mo stepped forward, "According to reliable sources, there is an unknown organization that has been sending beautiful women to the homes of various officials in the capital. These women have such a jade plaque on their bodies without exception, which seems to be some kind of communication code. For two years, the young master has been investigating the origin of this jade tablet, but it has been fruitless. If you want to investigate, you can't startle the snake, so the young master can only start with these women."

Hong Gu nodded, and then looked at the silent Zhao Wuyou, "Sir, do you want to ask yourself, we haven't asked anything yet!"

"Do you know martial arts?" Zhao Wuyou asked.

Aunt Hong shook her head, "It was checked by someone, and there is no internal strength."

Hearing this, Zhao Wuyou glanced at the bloody woman on the wooden frame, her expression darkened.
